The Ring has so much of Sauron's malice placed in it that it instantly imposes it's own will on whoever handles it who is not the Master of the Ring. In a way the ring is self aware and seeks to be with it's Master. If you've read The Silmarillion, Sauron was a lieutenant of an evil lord who was far more powerful than he. Sauron did learn how to create the Rings from an elf (9 for men, 7 for dwarves, helped with creating the 3 for elves and his 1 to rule), but his malice was taught by a far older power and that certainly assisted him in centralizing his power into the Ring. Plus, Sauron remembered his master coveting the Silmarils and how they did give his master some additional power, so he sought to increase his power by focalizing it in the Ring. Because the ring only recognizes One Master, it causes all others who possess it to 'fade'. If Bilbo had possessed the Ring long enough and worn it long enough, he would have faded and become a wraith. It was both the power of the Ring that made him disappear and Bilbo not possessing any power that made him disappear when he put it on.

Gimli, Legolas and Aragorn lead a Dwarf/Elf/Men Alliance to retake Moria.

I wouldn't mind someone redoing the LOTR with Peter Jackson being told to go away and leave it alone. "No thanks Pete, you screwed up the LOTR enough the first time.". Don't get me started on the dozens of holes in the script of the LOTR. Great music and scenery. Horrible writing and direction.

I think the ending that Peter Jackson will do is that it will end with Bilbo narrating some part of the end of his adventure to Frodo. And then a fade to Frodo putting his end notes into his adventures after the end of the LOTR and handing the book to Samwise. The better way would be to have the happy ending of the book where Balin and Gandalf visit Bilbo at Bag End and they share a smoke, while Balin speaks of the glories that the Lonely Mountain has now achieved and we get to see what it looks like inside and out including a fade of Dale and Lake-Town.

I think Mephisto must be in the first Dr. Strange movie.

I'm thinking that it will be a gang of super-villians. Something that expands on the Marvel Universe of villians and allows for those villians to be seen in multiple movies.

I think it will be some voice work actor who we don't know but who's voice we'll recognize and not be able to place.
